En un futuro lejano varias civilizaciones de nuestra Galaxia, incluida la Tierra, se encuentran unidos por el Gran Círculo, un sistema de información científica y cultural que se transmite más rápido que la luz.La nave Tranta es enviada a investigar el repentino silencio de uno de los grandes planetas cerca del Círculo, provocado por una catástrofe imprevista, pero en su vuelta a la Tierra la nave es atrapada por el campo gravitatorio de una Estrella de Hierro, dónde encontrarán restos de una expedición anterior y de una misteriosa nave alienígena. Escrita en 1952, "La Nebulosa de Andrómeda" es considerada uno de los clásicos de la ciencia ficción rusa, y la primera novela de esa nacionalidad que se atrevió a mirar más allá de unas pocas en el futuro de la humanidad.Considerada por unos una utopía comunista y por otros una crítica al régimen de Stalin, lo cierto es que "La Nebulosa de Andrómeda" establecería los patrones de la moderna ciencia ficción soviética que posteriormente seguirían autores como los hermanos Strugasky o el polaco Stanislaw Lem.

Andromeda is a science fiction novel by the Soviet writer and paleontologist Ivan Efremov, written and published in 1957. The novel was made into a film in 1967.Boris Strugatsky wrote:Efremov was an icebreaker of a man. He has broken the seemingly unbreakable ice of the "short aim theory". He has shown how one can and should write modern SF, and thus has ushered a new era of Soviet SF. Of course, those times were already different, the Stalin Ice Age was nearing its end, and I think that even without Andromeda, Soviet SF would soon start a new course. But the publication of Andromeda has become a symbol of the new era, its banner, in some sense. Without it, the new growth would have been an order of magnitude more difficult, and a thaw in our SF wouldn't have come until later.

Thais, the best-selling novel by Ivan Yefremov, a prominent Russian scientist and writer, was first published in Russia nearly forty years ago. It has sold millions of copies and to some extent has shaped the national cultural outlook on femininity and true humanity.Set in the era of Alexander the Great, the book tells a story of an Athenian hetaera Thais, whose fascinating image captures readers’ hearts and minds from the very first chapter and makes you fall in love with the heroine, or more precisely the image created by Yefremov – the image of a Muse, a word that has gone out of use, as well as the concept itself. The novel embraces the authentic historical overview and, with more relevance to our time, offers a unifying distinction of the ancient philosophies and religions through the prism of the universal humane values of all times. The pivoting point of the novel is the female aspect of divinity, the disregard, and diminution of which led to the domination of machismo reflected in spiritual and social trends, culture and ultimately human progress. The time has come for the rest of the world to discover Thais in order to remind us all of what true feminine beauty is - a combination of beautiful body, mind, and spirit; the very ideal of a woman.
